Minnesota Vikings news, rumors and injuries

Minnesota Vikings DE Brian Robison has agreed to restructure his contract, which saves the team $2.38 million in salary cap space. He was originally scheduled to make $3.5 million in 2018 but will now make $1.015 million.

Minnesota Vikings LB Anthony Barr was not present for organized team activities Wednesday, May 23. Head coach Mike Zimmer did not say if Barr's absence was related to his contract status, but Zimmer had spoken with Barr and knew he would not be there. If Barr is holding for a new deal and does not attend the mandatory three-day minicamp, he would subject to a maximum fine of $85,000.

Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (knee) is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation process. Head coach Mike Zimmer believes Cook will see work during organized team activities, but he will be limited in training camp.

Fantasy Tip: Limiting Cook in camp lessens the risk of aggravation, but it's a positive sign that he'll be participating in OTAs. As long as he holds his current pace, he should be good to go for the season opener. View him as an RB1 with risk attached.

Fantasy Tip: Wright probably has an early edge in the competition since he had a better 2017 season than Treadwell. Whoever wins the job likely will be behind Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph in terms of targets. Wright may have more fantasy value in 2018 but would only be a late-round option in deeper leagues.
